During the calm before the storm, I rose early and got in some rowing as the sky brightened in the east.

Stairway to Heaven
Austin Moon
Knowing there was a full moon due (and not wanting to endanger the family with the change) I went up to Heather Meadows to see what I might see. Ok, there's no change. I already had the beard. And, my daughter went with me.
Early Heather
My youngest & I spent the night in the back of the truck looking up at the stars & moon. There's just something about being on the mountain where all you can hear is your own breathing and a little breeze in the trees.

Flashback
The Providence Bridge Pedal the week before in Portland Oregon. We rode the 13 mile route that took us over 6 different bridges in a couple of hours.
Skagit
My buddy, David, & I paddled down the Skagit River delta yesterday. I picked him up at 6:00 and by 7:30 we were on the water. Look at the map and you'll see the launch point at the North East end of Skagit State Wildlife Recreation Area.

Sit. Stay.
There were five on the trail down to Surveyors Lake. While they weren't too timid, they didn't want to pose for the camera either.

Looking for Falls
True Love
My sweetie will go places - and I love her for that. She's happy to see the world from her bike, on foot, or paddling there.
Mt. Rorschach
Wildlife
We've been on the lookout for wild animals - there are signs along all the roads to be watchful for Elk, Bears, Mountain Goats, Bighorn Sheep, and Deer.

Scat
Cotton Headwaters
My bro, Tim, has had a fascination with slow shutter speeds and what they do to things that move. Moving water has been one of the subjects for him to experiment with.
11:08 PM
Ok, here's the reality. We pulled up to the gate at Herald Provincial Park at 11:08 and learned that the gate is closed and locked at 11:00. How about that?
Heading out!

15 Minutes
15 Minutes of fame? Maybe. To me they're quite famous and will be for as long as I live. No matter how old they get, they'll always be my babies.

Oh! Happy Day!
Red light, Green light
The only way I could get this little one to sit still long enough for a photo was to play "red-light green-light". Stop! Ok, GO!, Stop!

Twenty!
My wife and I celebrated 20 years of marraige today. We've known each other half our lives now and are looking forward to more years together.
As a reader of MAKE I was excited by a particular project dreamed up by Mikal Hart called the "Reverse Geocache".
The idea is this: build a box with a latch that is only opened when the box is in a special location as determined by the on-board GPS.
Not being able to leave well enough alone, I made mine with multiple drawers - the first drawer opens easily, but the remaining drawers only open in order at different places around our home town and elsewhere.
The first contained a map and drawing compass, along with a small gift. She's managed to open the next two drawers, but we're nowhere near the final location.
To be continued...

I dragged the family out tonight for a paddling. We expected one more this trip, but car troubles kept him at the other end of the county.

Rare Air
Yesterday was one of those rare days in the winter where the weather aligns with 7 different calendars. While my daughter spent a little time in her favorite bookstore, her parents, grandparents, and aunt & uncle got an afternoon out walking at American Camp.
What a gift a day can be...
They Live!
Ok. The paperwhites bloomed.
